Camelot

1967

King Arthur: (singing) Don't let it be forgot / That once there was a spot / For one brief shining moment / That was known as Camelot!

King Arthur: Merlin, make me a hawk! Let me fly away from here!

King Arthur: (singing) In short, there's simply not / a more congenial spot / for happily ever aftering than here in Camelot.

King Arthur: Merlin told me once, "Never be too disturbed if you don't understand what a woman is thinking. They don't do it very often".

Guinevere: Must we talk about Mordred? This is the first time in a month that he's not coming to dinner and not having him makes it seem like a party!

King Arthur: All we've been through, for nothing but an idea! Something that you cannot taste, smell, or feel; without substance, life, reality, memory.

King Arthur: I love them and they answer me with pain and torment. Be it sin or not sin, they betray me in their hearts and that's far sin enough. I can feel it in their eyes, I can feel it when they speak, and they must pay for it and be punished. I shall not be wounded and not return it in kind! I'm through with feeble hoping! I demand a man's vengeance! (Calming down) Proposition: I'm a king, not a man. And a very civilized king. Could it possibly be civilized to destroy the thing I love? Did they ask for this calamity? Can passion be selected?

Lancelot Du Lac: Dap, you are older than I. You know this Earth better than I. I only fell upon it a few hours ago. Dap: What are you talking about? Lancelot Du Lac: Guenevere!

King Arthur: (to Mordred) Far more seasoned rascals than you have polished their souls, I advise you, get out the wax. Better to be rubbed clean than rubbed out.

King Arthur: Wrong or right, they have the might, so wrong or right, they're always right, and that's wrong... right? Guinevere: Absolutely.

King Arthur: (angrily) Mordred, I must remind you that I am a civilized man. With occasional lapses.

King Arthur: But even the thought, "I'm not thinking a thought" is thinking, isn't it? Merlyn: Yes, and thinking is the sort of thing you should get into the habit of doing as often as possible.

King Arthur: Arise, Sir Lancelot.

Lancelot Du Lac: If the king grants you clemency, you shall be banished. If not, you hang. King Arthur: Clemency is granted.

Lancelot Du Lac: Jenny, I - I love you. God forgive me, but I do. Guinevere: Then God forgive us both, Lance.

Lancelot Du Lac: The next time you traffic with me, remember... you challenge the right hand of King Arthur! King Arthur: I *am* King Arthur! Lancelot Du Lac: What? You... are the king? King Arthur: Almost the *late* king...
